QVP Syntax for passing an authentication

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:30:50 GMT

Hi QlikCommunity,

Is there a syntax description for the qvp(like the General format in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme#Generic_syntax )? I know i can pass a username, but how about the password? I tried a http-like syntax which doesn't work.


http://<UserName>:<Password>@<Hostname>/<DocumentPath>
 qvp://<UserName>@<Hostname>/<DocumentPath>

sincerely AZ

QVP Syntax for passing an authentication

I've got it!

QVS refernce manuale page 80(pdf: 82)


qvp://[[username]@]servername [:(port | protocol)] /
[documentname.qvw][?paramname=paramvalue{&paramname=
paramvalue}]

username and password can be passed as parameters.

Aren't the username/password passed as params the "section access" name/pswd rather than the general login authentication, e.g. windows login name/pswd?

If I
1) Convert QVServer to using DMS authorization
2) Use QVEMC to manually add an authorized name (no windows account needed for this name) for a qvw, e.g. Frank
3) Request a ticket for Frank using as credentials a name/pswd for a windows account that exists on the machine hosting GetTicket.aspx

Then I am able to pass the folloiwng qvp to file open in the OCX
qvp://<host>/<file>?ticket

i.e. CTE+DMS ==>> qvp+ticket ==>> open qvw in OCX

I could not find anything in the QVServer Ref manual that says only DMS authorization is supported for CTE.

Is this the case?
